Wolfgang Käflein R.I.P.

A
great friend has left us. Wolfgang was extremely important for the
German bonsai scene in the late eighties and nineties until around 2010.
He has probably collected around 50,000 trees from the wilderness. In
his garden one could always find treasures for reasonable money.
Wolfgang was an outstanding personality with immense impact onto whoever
met him. I have spent many many hours with him and also went hunting
for trees together. My better trees of the collection almost all came
from Wolfgang in the eighties and nineties. A truly most remarkable man
indeed! R.I.P.
